Perhaps if “I don’t like when the paint goes onto someone else’s paper” didn't work, I would say "Everyone's paper needs to be safe." I might next hold out my hand. palm up so the child could give me the paintbrush. Or, a la NVC 'protective use of force,' I would take the paintbrush gently but firmly. Next painting time, I would say while handing the child the paintbrush, "Everyone's paper needs to be safe.' And I would 'hover' near them to be sure there was no 'flicking.' Any flicking at all and I would hold my hand out for the brush. Does this make sense.Chamakanda Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03376511692493913049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040322857504386258.post-15776083735367766102015-01-22T13:40:04.347-08:002015-01-22T13:40:04.347-08:00Dear Stephen,
Thank you for your insightful writin...Dear Stephen,<br />Thank you for your insightful writings - your book and blog are a guide for me as a parent (and human) everyday. I am especially interested in how you've incorporated NVC into the Waldorf perspective. Where do you go when the method of speaking your truth is ineffective? Take the example of the child flicking paint on the other child's paper. How do you encourage the behavior you want without resorting to threats or demanding what is "right"?<br />Ashleyashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122505761037009038noreply@blogger.com
